We recreated the Trojan Horse invasion in our classroom and one member of our class was inspired to create their own!

Linking Geography with Maths and English
ART DAY
In KS2 we enjoy having an Art Day to focus on a technique and an artist to develop our progression of skills. On this art day, we were looking at the artist Piet Mondrian and focusing on our painting skills. We really enjoyed learning about his life and how he became the famous artist that he is. We looked at Pier Mondrian's work and critiqued it as if we were walking around an art gallery displaying his work. We then used one of his pieces of work Composition II, to influence us in our own design and artistic creation. Using our knowledge of primary and secondary colours, we created a painting using tertiary colours by mixing. We are really proud of our final pieces of art work and had a fantastic day.
